Bamboo Pole

A very necessary tool in using this method!

      We are unable at this time to provide you with a Bamboo Pole.  However, you can find bamboo poles at many nurseries.  What you need is a 10-12 foot bamboo pole that is approx. 1-1 1/4 " in diameter.  Most of the nurseries we have found have websites where you can order your poles.  

      We are looking into possible having plastic poles made which would hold up longer than the normal bamboo pole.  We have decided to wait to see if there is enough interest in this product before we decide to go ahead with it.
